Hey,

Anyone got any ideas. I was looking for something with a bit of rocker in the nose? Maybe?

Thanks

Just my opinion mate as I know there is plenty of fans of Epoxy mals but I would go with a custom fibreglass job from a shaper (one who uses a good blank)

Have had had a few mals for the Perth metro beach breaks and found a good fibreglass job made by a shaper sits better in the water, is tougher and from a design point of view has never let me down.

I'm a big believer in if you are going custom go with a long term local shaper, they know the type of waves on offer and can match a board for those conditions. So the only name that comes to mind is Clearwater Surfboards.

Mctavish mate Bob grow up surfing Sydney,northern NSW's and all the points in Queensland,shaping since 1962 ,yep I'm a fan as you all know and I know it's a trick question. Steve would have a very sound knowledge of our waves also and I'd say more than Bob in WA. Next question?
